People are proud of their cars, and image is important to lots of people too. There is more kudos in driving a stylish looking car than a filthy one. Moreover,

the resell value of such a large investment like a car has to be protected and this means frequent maintenance. However, many individuals just do not have the

time to wash their cars properly, leave alone detail it.

This makes a decent business opportunity: there is plenty of demand, lots of chance and low start up costs. You could start a business in auto detailing and

make profits from auto detailing. This new business venture could be run from a plot of land or the back of a van - that is you could detail cars for their owners in

their own driveway. There is billions in auto detailing, or car valeting, as it is called in other countries.

So, if you were going to give making profits from auto detailing due consideration what are the foremost things that you would require to become

successful? We will look at the main ones in the remainder of this piece.

Information of Cars: this is not as much of a problem as it may sound. You do not require technical knowledge of cars, but you have to know all their nooks

and crannies. You also have to know how to lift carpets and refit them.

This is not rocket science and you can gain knowledge as you go, but it is worth practicing on the vehicles of your friends and relatives first.

Location: you will require somewhere to carry out your detailing or valeting. It is nice to have a yard, but it costs a lot, while you are only beginning, so it may be better to provide a mobile service. You could detail drivers' cars when they are

at home or at work.

If you work out of the back of a van, you will almost certainly require different equipment to that that you would need if you had a yard. You could have a pick-

up or a large van modified to carry a generator and a tank of water.

Advertising: you will need to let people know what services you supply. Drop cards and leaflets in shops, schools and offices. Another big customer may be

car and truck auctioneers and garages.

Working Capital: you will need a small amount of working capital, but that depends on alternatives you make for your business. A mobile business will be

cheaper to set up. You will also need subsistence money for yourself and an advertising budget.

You will also have to do some research into your competition to see what level of service they supply and how much that costs.

Once you have these details, write a business plan and take it to your bank to ask for a loan. If your figures stack up and you state your concept well, you might get a loan. Otherwise you could go into partnership with a friend or

member of your family.
